Summary
Objective: Torsades de pointes (TdP) during bradyarrhythmias have been reported to be associated with gender, degree of QT prolongation and duration of bradyarrhythmia. We sought to investigate the repolarization characteristics on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and the incidence of TdP in patients with acquired complete atrioventricular block (CAVB).
